EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the sage-physician Dhanvantari, a folio from the "Sixth". Bhagavata Purana series. Created by the esteemed artist Manaku during the 18th century, this piece is attributed to him and is part of the renowned "small". Guler-Basohli series. The artwork, displayed in vibrant color and exquisite detail, depicts a nobleman seated cross-legged on a Persian carpet. Dressed in traditional attire, this aristocrat exudes an air of wisdom and authority as he assumes his role as both sage and physician. With legs crossed and posture poised, he epitomizes knowledge and enlightenment. This portrait offers a side view of the man's profile, emphasizing his distinguished features. The painting not only captures the essence of Indian heritage art but also symbolizes the rich cultural history of Hindoostan (India). It reflects influences from Moghul dynasty aesthetics with its opulent use of opaque watercolor and gold on paper. As we delve into this masterpiece, we are transported back to an era where science met spirituality. The sage-physician represents Ayurvedic medicine - an ancient healing tradition that still holds relevance today. Through his expertise in medicinal herbs and holistic practices, he embodies centuries-old scientific knowledge passed down through generations. Displayed at prestigious institutions such as Arthur M Sackler Gallery and Freer Gallery of Art under Smithsonian Institution's umbrella, this artwork stands as a testament to Manaku's artistic prowess.
